DONT READ!! HARRY POTTER 7 SPOILER AH SANDY!
J.K. Rowling goes Beyond the Epilogue
J.K. Rowling has announced in new interviews with the Today show on NBC TV today (July 26) that the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was vague on purpose.
She said it was her desire for it to be "nebulous," something "poetic," and that she wanted the readers to feel as if they were looking at Platform 9 3/4 through the mist, unable to make out exactly who was there and who was not.
She admitted her original epilogue was "a lot more detailed," including the name of every child
born to the Weasley clan in the past 19 years. For example, Victoire, who was snogging Teddy, Lupin and Tonks' son, is Bill and Fleur's eldest child.
"But it didn't work very well as a piece of writing," J.K. said. "It felt very much that I had crowbarred in every bit of information I could ... In a novel you have to resist the urge to tell everything."
But now that Book 7 is in our hands, J.K. no longer has to hold back any information about Harry Potter. With 14 fans crowded around her in Edinburgh Castle in Scotland earlier this week, J.K. has now told us the following exciting information:
Harry, Ron and Hermione
In the book, Voldemort meets his end and Harry lives. But J.K. said Harry's survival was not always a certainty.
"In the early days, everything was up for grabs," she told USA Today. "But early on I knew I wanted Harry to believe he was walking toward his death, but would survive."
The epilogue tells us that Harry marries Ginny and has three kids. J.K. explained that this created the family and the peace and calm that Harry never had as a child.
An often asked question is what are Harry, Ron and Herione doing now? J.K. said that Harry, along with Ron, is working at the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic, and after all these years, Harry is now the department head.
"Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department," Rowling said. "They are now the experts. It doesn't matter how old they are or what else they've done."
Meanwhile, J.K. said that Hermione, Ron's wife, is "pretty high up" in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, despite the fact that she laughed at the idea of becoming a lawyer in the scene with Scrimgeour in Deathly Hallows.
"I would imagine that her brainpower and her knowledge of how the Dark Arts operate would really give her a sound grounding," J.K. said.
An important point for J.K. was that Harry, Ron and Hermione don't join the same Ministry of Magic they had been at odds with for years. In joining it, they revolutionize it and help evolve the Ministry into a "really good place to be."
"They made a new world," Rowling said.
Luna Lovegood
Luna Lovegood, the eccentric Ravenclaw who was fascinated with Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and Umgubular Slashkilters, continues to march to the beat of her own drum after leaving Hogwarts.
"I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures," J.K. said. "She's a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is."
But she isn't completely crazy. J.K. said that Luna comes to see the truth about her father, eventually acknowledging there are some creatures that don't exist.
"But I do think that she's so open-minded and just an incredible person that she probably would be uncovering things that no one's ever seen before," Rowling said.
Luna and Neville Longbottom?
When she was first asked about the possibility of Luna hooking up with Neville Longbottom several years ago, Rowling's response was "Definitely not." But as time passed and she watched her characters mature, Rowling started to "feel a bit of a pull" between the unlikely pair.
Ultimately, Rowling left the question of their relationship open at the end of the book because doing otherwise "felt too neat."
Frank and Alice Longbottom
J.K. told the fans that, sadly, there is no chance that Neville's parents, who were tortured into madness by Bellatrix and Rudolphus Lestrange, will ever leave St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies.
"I know people really wanted some hope for that, and I can quite see why because, in a way, what happens to Neville's parents is even worse than what happened to Harry's parents," J.K. said. "The damage that is done, in some cases with very dark magic, is done permanently."
However, she said Neville finds happiness in his grandmother's acceptance of him as a gifted wizard and as the new herbology professor at Hogwarts.
Some lived, Some Died
In earlier interviews, J.K. had said that there were was a character she claims she had intended to kill in book 5, "The Order of the Phoenix," but didn't. She admits now that character was Ron's dad, Arthur Weasley.
"He was the person who got a reprieve. When I sketched out the books, Mr. Weasley was due to die in Book Five. I swapped him for someone else, and I don't want to say who for the people who haven't read it. But I made a decision as I went into writing Phoenix that I was going to reprieve Mr. Weasley and I was going to kill someone else. And if you finish the book, I expect you probably know and someone else who is a father. I couldn't bear to kill him," J.K. said.
But there were also two characters that died who J.K. had not originally planned to kill in the finale. She said, "Fred, Lupin and Tonks really caused me a lot of pain. Lupin and Tonks were two who were killed who I had intended to keep alive. It's like an exchange of hostages, isn't it?"
The future of Hogwarts
J.K. said that "McGonagall was really getting on a bit," and nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, there is an entirely new headmaster. Also, there is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and that position is now as safe as the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort's death broke the jinx that kept a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than a year.
J.K. didn't clarify whether Harry, Ron and Hermione ever return to school to finish their seventh year, but she did say she could see Harry making an appearance every now and again to give the "odd talk" on Defense Against the Dark Arts.
The Confusing Ending, and More Info To Come
And for those readers who found chapter 34, when Harry enters the forrest to face Voldemort once and for all, difficult to read, J.K. said she understands. It was extremely difficult to write, she says -- the most difficult of all the chapters in the seven books.
"I had this enormous explosion of emotion and I cried and cried and cried," she said.
And while ending the series was also sad, it was also a bit of a relief. "It was this amazing cathartic moment – the end of 17 years' work," Rowling said of finishing the series, adding that Harry will "always be a presence in my life, really."
J.K. again confirmed she may eventually reveal more details in a Harry Potter encyclopedia, but even then, it will never be enough to satisfy the most ardent of her fans.
"I'm dealing with a level of obsession in some of my fans that will not rest until they know the middle names of Harry's great-great-grandparents," she said. Not that she's discouraging the Potter devotion!
"I love it," she said. "I'm all for that."
On Monday, July 30, J.K. Rowling gave a live on-line webcast interview, and she gave out more information as to what happens in the time of the epilogue in Book 7.
J.K. said the world was a sunnier, happier place after the seventh book and the death of Voldemort.
Harry Potter, who always voiced a desire to become an Auror, or someone who fights dark wizards, was named head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government headed by his friend and ally, Kingsley Shacklebolt.
His wife, Ginny Weasley, stuck with her athletic career, playing for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-female Quidditch team. Eventually, Ginny left the team to raise their three children --
James, Albus and Lily -- while writing as the senior Quidditch correspondent for the wizarding newspaper, the Daily Prophet.
When asked "What child did harry give the marauders map to if any," J.K. said, "I've got a feeling he didn't give it to any of them, but that James sneaked it out of his father's desk one day."
Contrary to a quote in an earlier interview, J.K. says Ron Weasley joined his brother, George, as a partner at their successful joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. George named his first child and son Fred, and he goes on to have a very successful career, helped by Ron.
Hermione Granger, Ron's wife, furthered the rights of subjugated creatures, such as house elves, in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures before joining the magical law enforcement squad. The couple had two children -- Rose and Hugo.
Harry and his friends have their own history depicted on Chocolate Frogs cards. Ron will describe this as his finest hour.
A new, improved Percy ended up as a high-ranking official in the new Ministry of Magic under Kingsley. Dolores Umbridge was arrested, interrogated and imprisoned for crimes against Muggleborns.
Teddy Lupin grew up living with his grandmother Andromeda. However, unlike Neville, who was also raised by his grandmother, Teddy had his godfather, Harry, and all his father's friends in the Order, to visit and stay with.
Luna Lovegood, Harry's airily distracted friend with a love for imaginary animals who joins the fight against Voldemort in the Order of the Phoenix, becomes a famous wizarding naturalist who eventually marries the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
Scorpius Malfoy has a lot going against him, not least that name. However, J.K. said she thinks Scorpius would be an improvement on his father.
Winky the House-Elf is still at Hogwarts, and she was one of the oncoming house-elves who attacked theDeath Eaters in the final battle.
After the battle, Firenze was welcomed back into the herd. The rest of the herd was forced to acknowledge that Firenze's pro-human leanings were not shameful, but honourable. And Mr. weasley did eventually get around to fixing Sirius' motorbike. Of course, it ended up in Harry's possession.
When asked would Lockhart ever recover, J.K. replied, "No. Nor would I want him to. He's happy where he is, and I'm happier without him!"
interesting to know that although HP has ended, it never really ends, does it?

had a good outing with the girls today.. our motive was to eat QQ rice, and have fun discussing chalet and some other stuff that i will not mention.. **ahem ahem stuff**
well first i took a bus from my house to AMK, and then proceeded to withdraw money.. DID U KNOW THE DAMN MACHINE AT AMK ONLY ALLOWS A MINIMUM OF $200 WITHDRAWAL!! WHO IN THE WORLD WANTS $200!!! =( sighhh.. but im a smart idiot.. (yes i know thats a wrong thing to say, but..) i proceeded to draw $200, and then i deposited $150 in the other machine! hahaha! HUMANS RULE MACHINES! (well, we should. we made them xD)
anyway, once i went up to AMK, i saw a nice garden opposite, so i took a photo of it, so that KF can see it too! (he promised to walk there with me one day... xD)
and then, i decided to take more pics, because the STUPID train wont come (AMK has very little RATIS)... i decided this one of the track looks pretty nice. =p
hee. happy day. will see them again on the 21st. =D cant wait! there have been some changes in our itenary this year... new chalet regime.. xD

ive officially run out of things to say about everything. i dont know how to explain this in words, persay, but i dont know why im just so pissed all the time about certain topics which i have now deemed sensitive topics.
i guess its times like these that you know how it feels to have someone around you all the time, to share your troubles and problems. i would have settled for troubles that have happened before, but its happening over and over again, so many times that over the many times it has happened, im slowly becoming immune to the redemptions made by those problems.
the results cannot justify the causes and i cannot justify that i can look at certain things with the same forgiving eye, the same look i used to give, the same "maybe its not like we think it is...maybe there's another way to it all" expression. i dont believe i've changed much, but i think when its because ive given up and its gone beyond all hope. when u hit a hammer on a plank of thin wood once, u might not break it. but repeatedly hitting the hammer unto it with significant or greater force, and ultimately the wood will break. its part of a nature cycle.
ive begun to care less about what's un-important and insignificant, and focus more on what i treasure and value as importance.
after ICM, i have so many things in life to look forward to...
1) 18th Aug - meeting with aunts to go eat and shop for shoes
2) 19th Aug - meeting with girls to talk about what to bring for chalet!
3) 21st to 23rd Aug - chalet with the girls
4) 23rd Aug - 11th month anniversary with kf
5) KCNT japanese students!
6) 27th Aug - director preview for MILE
7) 28th Aug - sis' bday
8) 2nd sept to 15 sept - I FLY OFF TO MILEEE!!!
9) 16 sept - SMRT pitstop with xiuxiu!
10) 23rd sept - my one year anniv!!!!!! =D
so many things... =) im looking forward to this holiday! YAY!

ICMT~~
didnt expect kenneth wong to be the bad guy in the team. but he was, and i quote "the asshole journalist" in acting.
funny moments include ms nga saying that she's stefanie sun from new paper... mr ang saying that he was antonio something... we all were thinking of shawn's "father", antonio alfonso salvatore TANG. nearly broke up laughing, but decided to keep my cool. press conference... cannot laugh at the journalists' name.
ms kwa kept playing with the lights and camera.. i know its for dramatic effect and realism, but thats a bit too much, dont you think, ms kwa? (i write this because i know you're reading it...)
ms nga then went about snapping photos... wonder if there was any actual photos... if there are I WANT THEM! **hint hint... **
when ms low said it was done, we thought it was really over... until mr wong came and shot killer question to the "minister", whether he should be fired or quit... i'm proud to say phyllis gave the "ministery" answer. ^^ quite happy with how ICM went... though i think to an extent we prepared too much xD. we didnt even get to say the actual measures!!!! **cept for the hotline**
going to eat MIX with xiu tmr... =) bringing my cammy.. i think. maybe not. just use my hp bah.. xD more efficient. xD hehehe.
preparing surprise... +D

ICMT went relatively well.. something i didnt expect. but i wont say much as there are more stressed out classmates of mine doing it tomorrow, and we promised we wont divulge secrets. xD hehe.
i'll write more about it tomorrow, shall i? =) now left ICM, and then the chalet.
on the down side, i feel very negative about certain things, which i've mentioned a bit to sandy and quite a lot to xiu xiu. will tell the others in due course when i get the opportunity to... =X but if you know me well, you should know what it's about. x)
